Re: Focusing on Blizzard's hand painted style?
You shouldnt have to make those either or decisions, while its ok to start with one and lead to another, I think the worst thing any artist can do is limit themselves as it both reflects on professional options and artistic results. For career purposes, focus on environment and be able to hit both handpainted and… -
Re: I'm just getting into 3d and I'm trying to make a thing with proper topology.
Thanks so much for answering! I'm in the process of trying to follow your steps and I found this tutorial (https://blog.turbosquid.com/2013/11/06/making-a-quad-sphere/) to help me with the subdivision of the cube into a spheroid (I've never done it before) and I got to step 3 which looks like what you have in your step 2.… -
Re: Character Artist Survey
Erik about that one automated UV layout example - this is typically the kind of problem that seem just fine from a techart point of view, but in practice leads to sloppy results.

Re: SciFi Door crit please!
when you import your texture files, check DEFER COMPRESSION and it wont compress your images until later on. There used to be a NO COMPRESSION setting, I think, but I can no longer find it myself.

First zbrushin's, wood rogue character
Hi everyone. My favourite thing to model is low poly handpainted characters, it's my real passion. But I'm really falling behind when it comes to more realistic next-gen workflow and I feel like my portfolio is really suffering from it - gonna try and remedy that by teaching myself how to properly use zbrush! I've only… -
UE4 Firespin Effect - Real Time VFX
Hey guys, thought that I would give it a shot to post a thread regarding my current WIP for a flaming tornado spell in UE4. I'm shooting for Riot/Blizzard kind of approach, so I will be avoiding UV distortion and attempt to hand paint my textures. I'm looking to improve on my skills as I am a new FX artist myself. I… -

Normal map changing the global orientation of the specular.
Hi ! I came up on this problem everytimes lately, maybe because I changed a little bit my pipeline to create normal maps. maybe I had this everytimes without really noticing it ? Here it is: (I am doin that in UDK, but I guess it would do the same with any game engine/renderer.) When I apply one of my normal map in my…
